How to Trim the Stem of Your Menstrual Cup

Every woman is different and so is every vagina! That’s why the Kegel8 Menstrual Cup has a trimmable stem to ensure the best fit for every woman. This stem may need trimming depending on the shape and size of your vaginal canal. Follow these guidelines when trimming the stem of your menstrual cup:

The stem should not appear outside of the vagina, but it should still be easy to grip from the entrance to your vagina.

Only trim the stem of your menstrual cup when it is NOT in use.

Trim only small sections of the stem at a time.

The end of the stem should sit approximately 1.5cm above the entrance to your vagina.

Rinse your cup thoroughly after cleaning to remove any soap or residue cleaner, as this can cause irritation after insertion. For a more thorough clean, you can boil your cup as frequently as you like.

You can also use sterilising tablets to clean your Kegel8 Menstrual Cup.

We recommend that you store your Kegel8 Menstrual Cup in the provided cotton pouch when not in use.
